how to hide odoo action type buttons that have no name attributes?

I'm trying to hide replenish button in product form and make it visible for a specific group here is the button definition

<button string="Replenish" type="action"
                        name="%(action_product_replenish)d"
                        context="{'default_product_tmpl_id': id}"
                        groups="stock.group_stock_user"
                        attrs="{'invisible': [('type', '!=', 'product')]}"/>

I used xbath to add change the group attribute as below

<xpath expr="//button[@name='%(action_product_replenish)d']" position="attributes">
                <attribute name="groups">stock.group_stock_manager</attribute>
</xpath>

but I get this error

raise ValueError('External ID not found in the system: %s' % xmlid) how can I do it dears ?

I think you are almost correct. Try prepending module name. For e.g. in expr, use //button[@name='%(<module_name>.action_product_replenish)d'] instead.

As a side note, as @Dipen Shah said, you may want to use attributes instead of replace since the latter will remove other already defined attributes.

If you want to add the specific group then use with an attribute on button following:

<xpath expr="//button[@name='%(action_product_replenish)d']" position="attributes">
    <attribute name="groups">stock.group_stock_manager</attribute>
</xpath>

Or if you replace the button then you must have to re-declare that button until you are not able to replace having an error. Following code for replace:

<xpath expr="//button[@name='%(action_product_replenish)d']" position="replace">
    <!-- This way you replace it's behavior  -->
    <button string="Replenish" type="action"
        name="%(action_product_replenish)d"
        context="{'default_product_tmpl_id': id}"
        groups="Your groups"
        attrs="{'invisible': [('type', '!=', 'product')]}"/>
</xpath>
